What is VoIP?

VoIP telephony is a technology that enables voice conversations over the internet instead of conventional telephone lines. VoIP means Voice over Internet Protocols.

A VoIP phone service has the advantage that call costs are lower especially for long-distance calls, and can even be free.

Additionally, VoIP equipment costs are much lower than established telephony, and on-going costs are also reduced, since the functionality of VoIP is software based.

With Om's post he really focuses in on the spending of Vonage. I'm in full agreement on the numbers and actually think the costs are higher. While the costs Om has are rather close, I think there are tons of other marketing and some business expenses not factored in, including the upcoming costs for E911, Local Number Portability to name just two.

As the marketability of VoIP continues to increase, it is to no suprise that the world is starting to catch on.  Something with the savings capabilities of VoIP, the growth is not expected to end anytime soon.  Especially with Vonage's launch of their UK services, I think that these numbers are going to continue to rise.  According to Information Week:

In "Service Provider Next Gen Voice Equipment," Infonetics notes that revenues from global sales of VoIP equipment totaled $493 million in the first quarter of this year, an increase of 40% over first-quarter levels in 2004. The growth trend will continue, and Infonetics predicts that revenues will reach $5.8 billion in 2008.

Ladies and gentlemen start your broadband engines.  This coming Memorial Day, The Red Bull Cheever Racing team will be using wireless VoIP headsets in their pit as well as in their cars.  Along with this, they are relying directly on Cisco produced equipment to gather real time data on their cars.  The team chose to switch from their old radio transmitters to the higher speed WiFi due to the previous problems with telemetry.  I just hope that they've got something better than a WEP protection key to block connections.  If they don’t, I can’t wait to see the picture of another race team plugged into their network.  According to Information Week:

One hundred eighty channels of data will be transmitted from the sensory systems over a Wi-Fi network set up throughout the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race cars will feed big chunks of data back to the server, including engine health, vehicle dynamics, and aerodynamics.
